Monica McGue

Monica McGue was inspired by Georgette, a West Highland White Terrier. A dog has been part of Monica's life, along with horses and other farm animals, since she was born. Young Monica developed a passion for animals, whether trying to saddle the family's horse at the age of two, or putting bows on Max the Basset Hound. These early experiences created an understanding of the important bond between humans and animals, whom Monica considers family members, friends, and teachers. These early experiences created an understanding of the importance of inclusion, kindness and acceptance that are the essence of her writing and her innate sense of fairness. These themes run through all of her books.
